Hey all, let's make the deadline noon on Monday, Eastern Time. Ponder away!

5 and 11 because they both relate instruments to organs.

[Paul Keating]

I vote for 2 and 8.

[Efrem G Mallach]

Obviously, it's either a course of study for optometrists or a course of study that allows students to make more choices than usual. Unfortunately, nothing like either of those is in the list. So, despite Debbie's claim, the correct meaning must have been inadvertently omitted.

However, since I'm required by the rules to vote only for definitions that made it into the list, I'll try 5 and 8.

I'll try 7 and 9 (though I'm a bit suspicious of the use of "penumbra" in
connection with an electrical spark):

>> 7. The penumbra of a visible electrical discharge, such as St. Elmo's Fire
